This has the advantage that the dirt particles contained in the gas 2 in the particle filter 210 be filtered out.
- the particle filter must be activated when the gas 2 contains too little moisture or water to wet the surfaces of the heat exchangers, so that the dirt particles are excreted independently. This is the case if the gas 2 has a low temperature compared to the planned intake temperature, e.g. in the Winter.
- FIG. 11 is another embodiment of the compressed air system shown in FIG. 10 194, the same reference numerals being used for the same parts.
- the difference to the compressed air system 194 shown in FIG. 10 is that the compressors 4 for sucking in the gas 2 no longer, as described in FIG. 10, via the refrigeration dryer 5, 6 are sucked in, but rather that the compressors 4 first suck in a gas 2 from the atmosphere, compress it and then via the refrigeration dryer 5, 6 to a certain temperature cooling down. Furthermore, in the refrigeration dryers 5, 6 the water vapor in the atmosphere or is contained in the gas 2, excreted. The cooled air is then released by the individual Devices 195 to 197 passed into the compressed air tank 199, from there it can then forwarded to consumer 201.

Das zu verdichtende Gas 2 wird bei der dargestellten Vorrichtung 1 bei geöffneter Verschlußklappe 33 des Kältetrockners 5 durch den Verdichter 4 über den Ansaugstutzen 34 in den Kältetrockner 5 gesaugt. Das angesaugte Gas 2 passiert dann den Wärmetauscher 15, der zu dieser Zeit abgetaut, d.h. von dem als Eis angefallenen Kondensat befreit wird. Beim Vorbeistreichen der warmen Luft an dem Eis bzw. mit kaltem Tauwasser vom Eis beschlagenen Wärmetauscher 15 wird das angesaugte Gas 2 bereits abgekühlt und scheidet einen Teil der in dem Gas 2 in Form von Wasserdampf enthaltenen Feuchtigkeit aus.
Das zu verdichtende Gas 2 wird bei der dargestellten Vorrichtung 1 beispielsweise über den Kältetrockner 6, d.h. über den Ansaugstutzen 34 der geöffneten Verschlußklappe 33 des Kältetrockners 6 in den Kältetrockner 6 angesaugt. Das angesaugte Gas 2 passiert dann den Wärmetauscher 96, in dem das angesaugte Gas 2 vorgekühlt wird. Anschließend passiert dann das angesaugte Gas 2 den Wärmetauscher 16 und wird durch diesen auf die gewünschte Temperatur abgekühlt und gelangt über die Ansaugleitung 8 und die geöffnete Verschlußklappe 13 zum Verdichter 4.
